2008 Lumber Grading Short Course
Lumber Grading course
The value of “rules conscious” employees is a more carefully manufactured product, a more profitable yield from the log, and a better sense of the value of the lumber being handled. This three-day workshop will include a thorough study and explanation of the NHLA Rule Book, emphasizing the basics of hardwood lumber inspection.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Anyone wanting to become familiar with the lumber grading rules and process. This popular workshop gives yardmen, sawyers, edgermen, and management-level personnel such as sales and office staff, an introduction to lumber inspection.
